we AREN'T alone!

This blog was born in 2006, 3 years after we adopted a little boy from Haiti. Cute as a button? OF COURSE! *difficult* as the day is long? pretttty much. We sure love him to bits, but he makes life.. um.. interesting, to put it gently. It started as a family blog but has become so much more, atleast to me. Reactive Attachment Disorder is only one piece to Jackson's diagnosis puzzle, and along the way we've met so many other bloggers dealing with the same daily struggles -and sometimes triumphs-and i enjoy sharing in their ups and downs. jump in! I love making new bloggy friends.

"The process of adopting a child pushes your personal envelope as a woman, as a mother, and ultimately, as a human being. It takes more courage than you think you have, offers more self-knowledge than you think you want, and reassembles your characteristics into someone familiar but changed."

-Jana Wolff, Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother

Things You Should Know About HIV

HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. If you would like more information on transmission, there is additional information on the Center for Disease Control website
